Edinburghs Leith Links to Gain Activity Hub with £4M Funding from Visitor Levy

Edinburghs council has approved significant funding from its new visitor levy to revamp Leith Links and other top parks. The tourist tax is expected to generate tens of millions in its early years, reaching fifty million pounds annually. Leith Links will receive nearly ten million pounds over three years for an activity hub, including a destination skatepark, climbing wall, and new cafe with community space. The council leader, Jane Meagher, expressed excitement about the opportunity to make Edinburgh cleaner and greener, with the first UK authority implementing a city-wide levy for parks, policing, and cultural sites.
